Really enjoying this clock radio tangent! My kid is very much a night owl who doesn’t want to wake up for school, so the other day I told her how loud and annoying the alarm clocks we grew up with were when she refused to wake up and start moving.
She was unimpressed, so I searched the Internet for the sounds of 70s and 80s clock radios, then spent a few minutes loudly cycling through them on my phone to find the most annoying. It worked!

My partner hates having her phone in the bedroom (probably for the best) so she was relying on me to wake her up. Since started training again I told her I can’t so she’s reluctantly brining phone to bed. Told her she needs an old school alarm clock.
If anyone wants to sell me one from Grandma’s house let me know!
Also grandmother had one of those flipping digital clocks, not radio/alarm. Good memories, visiting my parents ( they bought her house) bet it’s around somewhere.

Just get one from Amazon. My son is a heavy sleeper and sleeps through the phone alarms. I got him an alarm clock that not only is super loud but it has a thing that vibrates against the bed and is very annoying. It was like $15 I think.

@kurt.braeckel @FrankTuna likewise, “if you owned one of these, you can no longer afford to skip the warmup…”
We had a working one at a vacation house in Maine until the phone company stopped supporting the ‘clicks’ a few years ago. LFAO watching the kids try to use it.

Partners dad has a rotary payphone converted to push button (retired electrical engineer so a hobby project years ago). I may have one of the only 3 year olds who’s used a payphone and almost a rotary one at that!
I also had a friend that in the 90s dad would tell phone company they only had rotary phones since it was cheaper. After about 6 months the phone company would think it was a mistake and switch them over and he’s swap in the push button phones. It was funny having to dial in the kitchen on the rotary and then you could swap to the cordless.

I had a Bose CD player / alarm clock that didn’t bite the dust for way too long. When set to play the CD as the alarm, the CD spinning would wake me before the music even started playing.

What the heck else am I supposed to train in? Jeans and workboots?
How about t-shirt and shorts?
As long as they’re padded otherwise I have to lower my seat in which case I am just wearing my kit anyways.
Thanks,
Frank
A decadic to DTMF converter like the Dialgizmo might get that baby working again on a modern network.
Sure miss Chad. And Amber!
